Festival Date, Tithi & Muhurat
Hindu festivals are tied to a specific Tithi, not a fixed date — so the day shifts every year and even varies slightly across cities.
Open the Panchanga for the festival day to see the exact Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Shubh Muhurat for pooja in your location.
The Dharmayana app keeps track of all upcoming festivals on the Hindu calendar and reminds you in advance.
Personalised Astrology Around Festivals
Festivals are also a good time to look at your kundali — many families plan sankalp, donations or new beginnings around them.
Inside the app you can:
- Generate your personal Vedic kundali
- Talk to a Jyotisha for guidance around career, relationships or health
- Run kundali matching before fixing a marriage during the festival season
All of this is available inside the Dharmayana app — no fixed schedule, use it whenever you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is Chinnamasta Jayanti in 2027?
Chinnamasta Jayanti 2027 falls on Tuesday, 18 May 2027.
What is Chinnamasta Jayanti?
Falling on Vaishakha Shukla Chaturdashi, this marks the birth of the sixth Mahavidya — a goddess shown holding her own severed head while three streams of blood feed her two attendants and her own lips. Worship is largely the domain of Tantrics, Yogis and Aghoris.
Why is Chinnamasta Jayanti observed?
The Pranatoshini Tantra tells the origin story. Parvati went to bathe in the Mandakini river with two companions, Dakini and Varnini (also called Jaya and Vijaya). They grew faint with hunger and begged her for food. With nothing to give, she struck off her own head — three streams of blood shot from her neck. Dakini and Varnini drank from the side streams; the central stream fell into her own severed mouth. The three figures carry colour symbolism: Dakini is black, Varnini red, and Chinnamasta white — the three gunas of tamas, rajas and sattva. She stands on the mating couple Kama and Rati, signalling mastery over desire. Her consort is Kabandha Shiva, the headless Shiva. The Markandeya Purana gives a different setting — Ma Chandi beheading herself to feed the blood-thirsty yoginis after battle — and is the legend honoured at Chintpurni in Himachal Pradesh.
